RIP Mark Moffat, prolific Australian producer, who produced a who's who of mainstream Australian music, including Mondo Rock, Jenny Morris, Mental as Anything and Yothu Yindi.

He was the in-house producer for EMI Records in the 70s where he worked on The Saints debut album ‘I’m Stranded’.

Tim Bowden - journalist for the ABC, but more known for his show “Backchat” which ran for years in the late 80s early 90s.
Who’s this bloke you ask?
Go and watch some stuff on YouTube. His show was the predecessor to Media Watch - whole spends their time ripping apart all media and being brutally honest. 915pm Monday nights on your ABC.
Tim was 87 - as per Media Watch last night.
I even got a bit misty about that one.

It's a long time since I've heard of him. IIRC Backchat was a 5 minute fill in show where people wrote in to complain about the ABC

Young fella this is what they were like back then when they lit up Miranda Fair. The Good old days.

(As you can see, they were still growing into their teeth )

Quigs, many years ago I worked at Grace Brothers at randy fair. I remember a day when they had Tiny Tim doing some sort of promo in the store, and I recall him being carried on some sort of throne or something.

It must of been after my time. I left Syd-a-ney and the Shire in 1978.

I can't remember anything about Tiny so I just went in and asked Mr Google. It appears that Tiny Tim was out here in 1992 for his 60th birthday.

Was that the time?
